Geroskipou A’ Primary School Cyprus
Webquests with Weebly
A webquest is an online inquiry based learning structure. All tasks are
designed and developed online.
What we do:
- We design webquests about topics from the curriculum.
- We apply cross-curricular approach (many subjects & many teachers
involved - whole school approach).
- We embed many ICT tools in our webquests.
- Allow room for students to design their own learning or for other students.

Replicable steps we made
- Found a topic that could be approached cross curricularly.
- The topic needed to be inspiring for many teachers in order to get involved :)
- Run seminars within the schools to train on the use of weebly (website design & development
online tool).
- Formed a team of teachers.
- Found the age level of the students. Divided the students into groups. Assigned roles.
- Divided the topic in different thematic categories.
- Each teacher designed the part of the webquest corresponding to one thematic category
he/she was in charge of.
- Students were the designers of some thematic categories.
- Launched the lesson with the students were the teacher was the facilitator and the students
worked in groups around the laptop.
